I just want to contact a member called "SleepMachine". he has a thread about an app he created called "whileidle" which I need to ask a question about.

Basically, when i run the app with the hidden mode enabled, when the computer comes back from idle it closes which ever program has focus. its a bug that i wanted to know if he could fix.

I'm having the same problem, plus some programs crash when the miner exe is ended and sometimes the desktop disappears as well.

Ahh yes.. the downfall of SPAM.. makes it hard for non will intended members to join the board and continue forward. I also wanted to PM someone selling goods here. Alas cannot.

Yep, the actions of a few determine the needs of the many.... Sux but maybe they don't have enough mods or deterrent levels in place to curb the spam so they are forced to do this.
I understand but it is a PITA lol  :(

I totally understand this policy. I tried to run a forum on a blog I used to have, never had much of a chance to get trolls rolling through it, the spam bots took over before they showed up....   

I'm still wondering how long until the 'net becomes practically unusable from all the spam and bot nets.

let me know what you guys want to PM to who and ill do it for you if you like, they finally accepted my membership here.

The program ends other programs because it wants to end the one in focus, and if you click the mouse when returning to your pc, it will steal the focus of the stealthed app and get ended by the whileidle. i have looked at the source and may change some bits.

Within ten minutes of posting here, they'd be able to send the PM themselves.
